While Malcolm Jenkins, who co-founded a group known as the Players Coalition, said that Kaepernick was invited but did not attend player-owner meetings earlier this month, Kaepernick’s team was reportedly shut down when they reached out to both the NFLPA and the Players Coalition.

Emails obtained by Slate between Kaepernick’s lawyers and the NFLPA also appear to back the claim that Kaepernick has not been invited to any player-owner meetings, which have been scheduled by owners and the Coalition, without direct involvement from the Players’ Association.

Earlier in October, Kaepernick filed a grievance against the NFL alleging that his continued unemployment is the result of collusion among NFL owners.
